Chapter 97

Lin Nanjie fell into a warm embrace, as if he was being held alive.

Li Chengqian's tone was so tense that he seemed like he would jump into the river if Lin Nanqian said something wrong: "Really? You're not leaving?"

Lin Nanjie felt the force on his body tightened a bit, and he moved his neck: "Really, I saw another me, he is living well there, so I won't leave, I want to stay."

Li Chengqian was relieved: "Okay."

His left shoulder was still hurting. Lin Nanjie grabbed Li Chenghuan and asked again, "Have you found the assassin from that day?"

Li Chengqian: "They are from Zhao. Ao Jingchuan led people to search the city and caught two who escaped. They are still being interrogated."

Lin Nanqi was worried: "I came here for you."

Li Chenghuan had a blank expression on his face: "It's not that easy for me to die."

Lin Nanqi still said: "It is still safe in the palace, Your Majesty should not leave the palace."

Li Chenghuan nodded: "You still need to recuperate from your injuries. Stay here and recuperate."

Lin Nanjie did not refuse this time and nodded obediently.

The judge examined Lin Nanjie's wounds, prescribed some tonics, and then led his men away. Lin Nanjie then saw an old Taoist priest who looked out of place in the Zichen store. When the old Taoist priest was let in, he looked at Lin Nanjie with shining eyes: "You are finally awake!"

Lin Nan looked at him. He was over fifty years old, with gray hair, but he looked very energetic, especially his eyes, which were not cloudy at all. He was dressed very simply, in a dark green Taoist robe. At first glance, he looked like a beggar on the street.

Lin Nanjie asked hesitantly, "May I ask who you are, sir?"

The old Taoist said, "I am Cui Wuchen."

Cui Wuchen?

Lin Nanjie suddenly remembered him and looked him up and down.

"Are you Cui Wugou's senior brother?"

"I heard that Cui Wu Gou was dressed in fine clothes and looked like an immortal, but why do you look... so down and out?"

When Li Chenghuan heard him introduce himself, he immediately protected Lin Nanjie behind him. Wang Dehai's face turned pale and he stuttered: "Demon, demon, demon, demon!"

Cui Wu Gou was the so-called immortal master who spread lies and deceived the previous emperor during his reign.

Cui Wuchen saw the reactions of the others and immediately widened his eyes: "You piss me off! Don't compare me with that idiot!"

Li Chengqian was still staring at him eagerly. Lin Nanjie raised his hand and patted him, whispering, "He doesn't seem to be a bad guy."

Cui Wuchen jumped up even more: "It wasn't originally!"

Li Chengqian did not let down his guard: "What on earth are you doing?"

Cui Wuchen then said, "Ten years ago, my junior brother went down the mountain and caused a lot of trouble. I thought the matter was over, but one moonlit night, I counted with my fingers and found that the bastard had reappeared in the arena and caused trouble..."

He pointed his finger at Lin Nanqi: "You're on the head."

"Alas," Cui Wuchen sighed, "It is unfortunate for our master. Our master has long passed away. Now I am the only one left to clean up the family for him. I followed him all the way from Qianzhou to the capital, but I didn't expect to find a person who was out of this world."

Lin Nanqi immediately thought of the Lotus Sect leader in Qianzhou: "Do you know the Lotus Sect in Qianzhou?"

Cui Wuchen snorted coldly: "How could I not know? They colluded with the people of Zhao and created the Lotus Sect, which pretends to be a god and deceives people."

Cui Wuchen glanced at Li Chengqian with deep sorrow and anguish: "You emperors are so easy to deceive."

Li Chenghuan was shot instantly.

Cui Wuchen said: "Now that you are awake, I feel relieved and will leave now."

Li Chenghuan stopped Cui Wuchen and said, "Wait a minute, Taoist priest. You have come a long way to the capital, and I guess you don't have a place to stay. How about I arrange a place for you to stay?"

Cui Wuchen had no sense of politeness at all: "Thank you very much."

***

In the prosperous capital city, in an inconspicuous house.

In the dim light, a figure looked around and then disappeared into the gate of the house.

The house seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, and the courtyard was overgrown with weeds. The person walked through the narrow and dim corridors and courtyards and pushed open the door of the last room. The house had been sealed for a long time, and there was a lot of dust on the ground. It looked like no one had lived in it for several years. She walked to the wall and stopped, raised her hand and knocked on the brick in front of the door.

Then, the wall in front of me automatically opened up, revealing a Taoist temple with a tower in it.

If someone knows the inside story, they will know that this was the Longevity Tower that was once very popular in the capital during the reign of the previous emperor. It was abandoned after the current emperor took office. Due to its slightly remote location, no one visited it over time except the beggar Crow.

The woman was actually Jinyi from the East Palace. She walked into the tower and went down the stairs. There was an underground palace in the tower.

Inside the underground palace, there was a huge bronze mirror. In front of the mirror stood a man wearing bright yellow clothes. When one got closer, one could see that he was wearing a five-clawed dragon robe.

Jin Yi stood a few steps away, looking at the man in the dragon robe, and smiled strangely: "My Lord, just wait a little longer, and you will soon ascend the throne and become the master of the world."

Li Chengsi turned around. He was wearing a dragon robe and his eyes revealed fanaticism.

As the crown prince appointed by the previous emperor, he had sought immortality and medicine with the previous emperor. Everyone thought that he died from taking too many elixirs like the previous emperor.

Li Chengsi looked at Jinyi with a gloomy face: "The assassination failed, what are you going to do?"

Jin Yi's expression remained unchanged: "My Lord, please be patient. I have a plan. That Lin Nanjie has been ruining our business everywhere. And seeing that the dog emperor likes this person very much, he must be eliminated. I have already arranged everything in the palace. The queen mother has great trust in me, and the little prince is also doing well."

Li Chengsi nodded: "That's good. When Li Chengqian finds out the truth, I wonder what his expression will be."

***

For dozens of days, Li Chenghuan ordered Lin Nanjie to recuperate in the palace. Lin Nanjie felt that this was a bit unfair. After all, he had just taken office for a short time and he was already asking for sickness and recuperation. He was eager to return to the Censorate to report for duty.

However, when Li Chengxuan summoned important officials to discuss state affairs in the Purple Palace, Lin Nanqi was listening in the back and heard Wang Wenhe say, "Your Majesty, regarding Lin Nanqi's injury..."

When Lin Nanjie heard Wang Wenhe talking about himself, he immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

[Does Lord Wang want me to go back to work in the Censorate? ]

Li Chenghuan was sitting on the dragon chair. When he heard Lin Nanjie's excited voice, he almost choked on his tea.

He stared at Wang Wenhe with a dim gaze.

During the few days of recuperation, I haven't seen Lin Nanjie so excited to see me.

But when he heard Wang Wenhe mention it, he became so excited.

Wang Wenhe continued, "Lin Nanjie sacrificed himself to protect the emperor. He is very righteous. Now the emperor has arranged for him to recuperate in the Purple Palace..."

At this point, Wang Wenhe paused, as if he was thinking about something.

Lin Nanjie's heart was instantly lifted, and his tone was a little nervous: [Alas, Lord Wang is the most polite, he will definitely say that this is against the rules. ]

Li Chengqian glanced at several important officials. After hearing what Wang Wenhe said, the others also hesitated to speak. Feng Yuanxiu took over the conversation and said, "This matter is indeed a bit against the rules. Lin Nan has done a great job in protecting the emperor, so just give him more rewards."

Several other ministers also echoed, "Lord Feng is right. After all, Lin Nanjie is an outsider. The emperor has already rewarded him with a residence and sent a court judge to treat him. This is already a supreme honor. Even if he stays in the palace, why should he stay in the Purple Palace? Isn't this a violation of rules?"

Li Chengqian expected that this matter would be mentioned today, and said to everyone: "Lin Nanjie was injured while saving me. His injuries are serious and he should not be moved."

Several adults still said: "Why not send someone to carry it? Why keep it in the Purple Palace? It is still against the rules."

Li Chengqian glanced at them coldly: "Let alone Lin Nanjie is now living in Zichen Palace to recuperate, even if he stays in Zichen Palace forever, what does it matter?"

Several ministers were immediately shocked: "How can this be possible!"

Li Chengqian was drinking tea leisurely, with no sign of panic on his face, as if he had not noticed the shocked expressions of the adults.

Minister of Rites Lu Weitong could not help but say: "The Queen's throne has been vacant for a long time, and the six palaces are empty. I beg the Emperor to accept more concubines from the six palaces and expand the family! Letting a fifth-rank official live in the Purple Palace is simply unheard of!"

Li Chenghuan raised his eyelids and looked at him: "Why, Lord Lu also wants to try whether the dragon bed in the Purple Palace is soft?"

Lin Nanjie was in the inner hall, sipping his tea in surprise when he suddenly heard these words. He choked on his water and immediately coughed.

I was afraid that the sound would spread to the front, so I covered my mouth and it took me a long time to recover.

[What a shameless question! ]

【Poor Lord Lu. 】

Li Chengqian sat upright, not aware of anything at all.

Lu Weitong was a minister at an advanced age with a white beard, but he was suddenly ridiculed like this. He froze on the spot as if struck by lightning. He was upright and had read books of sages. He had never been "offended" like this, especially by the emperor!

For a moment, I felt awkward and terrified, and remembered that the current emperor was a "daring thinker and more daring actor" before he ascended the throne.

His face flushed red: "Your Majesty, please don't make fun of my reputation!"

Then he squeezed out a sentence with frustration: "I have never had any improper thoughts!"

Who knew that this remark would cause even more misunderstanding, and several ministers looked at him with unclear eyes.

Lin Nanjie was holding his stomach and laughing silently in the inner hall, and he even wanted to tell Lu Chengzhou secretly.

Li Chenghuan looked at the others again: "Where are you?"

Lu Jingyao turned his eyes away guiltily. Lin Nanjie was going to attend his family's wedding, and he couldn't say anything bad about Lin Nanjie.

Just live here, it’s no big deal!

"I have nothing to say."

Although Feng Yuanxiu was shocked in his heart, his expression just changed slightly and he said nothing.

Finally, only Wang Wenhe was left, and everyone looked at him secretly.

Isn't Wang Wenhe the most gentlemanly person? He certainly can't let this go so easily.

Wang Wenhe raised his head solemnly: "I have something to say."

Everyone's eyes are eager!

Here it comes!

Lin Nanqi also became nervous.

[My leader is going to speak! ]

Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows slightly, also waiting for Wang Wenhe's next words.

王文鶴雙臂一振：“各位大人着實迂腐！”

衆人一愣。

王文鶴的目光中透着凜然正義：“林楠績年級輕輕，就有為國捐軀的覺悟，敢在危急時刻挺身而出護駕，一片赤子之心，乃是大齊的功臣！皇上肯為林楠績請院判醫治，又将人留在紫宸殿養傷，乃是知恩圖報，是真正的明君！”

林楠績呆住了。

【我……這麽厲害嗎？】

【赤子之心？】

【大齊的功臣？】

幾位大臣震驚得看着王文鶴，沒想到這番話居然能從他嘴裏說出來。

這護犢子，都護到禦前了！

明君李承銑輕咳一聲：“還是王大人深明大義，既然如此，就依王大人所言，等到林楠績傷勢完全養好為止。”

王文鶴還特意道：“林大人為救皇上舍身忘我，身負重傷，理應好好修養，都察院的事務，不必記挂，等到傷養好以後，再銷假不遲。”

林楠績感動不已：【嗚嗚嗚嗚嗚，還是王大人好。】

李承銑：……

議事完畢以後，李承銑特意回到內殿：“這下你可放心了？”

林楠績點點頭，如釋重負：“既然王大人都這麽說了，那我就再休養休養。”

李承銑壞心眼地捏了捏林楠績的腮幫子：“王大人說話比朕都好用，朕看你壓根不把我放在眼裏。”

【那可是我的頂頭上司！】

一不小心洩露了心裏話，林楠績頓時心虛地開始甜言蜜語：“當然是皇上最好了，皇上全天下最好！”

李承銑捏住林楠績的嘴皮子，面無表情道：“晚了，朕都聽見了。”

林楠績憤憤：【不公平！太不公平！】

【憑什麽你能聽見我，我聽不見你！】

李承銑：“朕又不會說你壞話。”

不過這倒是個問題，李承銑的思緒瞬間跑偏，唔，想想互換一下，也許會有些別樣的趣味。

林楠績精力恢複了七八成，狗腿上身：“還是皇上願意準假，微臣才能在這紫宸殿安安心心地養傷。”

李承銑對林楠績的狗腿發言表示受用。

午後，李承銑又在大殿接見天竺使臣，林楠績在皇宮裏正百無聊賴，便繞到禦花園裏散步活動。過了日頭最烈的時候，林楠績在走廊下慢慢踱着步，有輕風緩緩地吹着，倒也不算太炎熱。剛走進禦花園，就聽見一陣歡聲笑語，跟在他旁邊的何修說道：“是太後娘娘和小太子。”

林楠績本來不想打擾祖孫二人天倫之樂，然而李敬榆卻好像背後長了眼睛一眼：“林大人！”

林楠績只好走到花園中：“參見太後娘娘，太子殿下。”

太後娘娘臉上帶着笑容：“起身吧，哀家聽說你救了皇上，受了重傷，如今傷情如何了？”

林楠績回答道：“有方院判妙手回春，如今已無大礙。”

林楠績這才看見，一群人圍着一只碩大的烏龜。

這烏龜體型碩大，足有半人之高，趴在地上，伸出頭尾和四肢。有太監在前頭喂食，烏龜就在食物後面慢吞吞地爬着。

林楠績又湊近了仔細看，這烏龜龜殼堅硬，殼上長着一圈一圈的花紋，通體發綠。

觀賞完畢，林楠績客套地誇贊道：“真是好龜。”

就是太綠。

太後身邊的宮人道：“這神龜乃是天竺進貢來的神物，象征長壽安康、國祚延綿，皇上特意将神龜獻給太後娘娘，足見一片孝心。”

林楠績想到了一些前塵往事，再看烏龜身上碧綠的殼，禁不住想笑，硬生生地憋住了，擺出一副純良的神情。

估計李承銑見了這神龜，也覺得綠得發慌。

一直站在旁邊沒有說話的錦衣突然站了出來，掃了一眼林楠績，對太後說道：“這神龜乃是通靈之獸，能夠察覺吉兇，太後最近頭風愈發嚴重，恐是宮中有人氣運沖撞所致，不如讓這神龜為太後好好占蔔占蔔。”

太後娘娘露出訝異的神情：“錦衣姑娘還懂得占蔔之道？”

錦衣道：“太後娘娘謬贊了，民女來自民間，自幼學醫，略通一些旁門技藝罷了。”

太後近來正為頭風一事煩擾，聽見這神龜可以蔔卦，頓時也來了興致：“那就試試吧。”

誰知道李敬榆卻忽然道：“皇祖母，兒臣聽說所謂卦象天象，都是無端之說，不可信。”

太後還未開口，錦衣就笑道：“殿下還小，還未領略這世間萬物的奇妙，這神龜蔔卦之術是從上古流傳下來的，上古帝王都深谙此道，怎麽會是無端之說。林大人說呢。”

錦衣直接引到自己身上，林楠績不知道她葫蘆裏賣的什麽藥，但定然不是好事。只是眼下衆目睽睽，又戳中的太後的軟肋，林楠績面色不改：“神龜是祥瑞之物，又是皇上的一片孝心，想必能解太後娘娘的燃眉之急。”

太後聽罷，頓時笑着點點頭，摸了摸小太子的頭：“就當是解解悶吧。”

李敬榆皺着眉思索了一陣子：“好吧。”

錦衣露出一絲詭異的笑容，對着神龜低聲念了幾句經文，然後道：“神龜指向誰，就是誰與太後八字沖撞。”

林楠績：【這錦衣裝神弄鬼的糊弄太後，總覺得這人有些怪異。】

【不過這神龜離水太遠，會不會不舒适，唔，好在禦花園裏就有一片湖水，容納一個烏龜應該輕輕松松。哦對了，那水池裏還養了許多魚，不光有錦鯉，還有各種觀賞魚……】

烈日當頭，就見那神龜緩緩邁動四肢，在人群中間慢悠悠地轉了一圈，就伸着頭直奔林楠績的方向去了。

衆人頓時提起了一口氣，竟然是林楠績？

何修臉色直接白了，若是被定為沖撞太後的元兇，林楠績可就慘了。

錦衣看見此狀，眼底閃過一道詭谲的光芒。

林楠績看着綠烏龜，一雙黑豆豆眼熱切地看着自己，不禁道：【錯了錯了……水池在反方向。】

衆人看見神龜停在林楠績面前，仰着頭一動不動地看着林楠績，那綠豆大的眼睛裏仿佛有篤定的光芒。所有人看向林楠績的眼神都帶着一絲懷疑。

就連太後的目光也落在林楠績身上，看了幾個來回。

錦衣胸有成竹地開口：“看來沖撞太後的正是此人！”

小殿下眉頭一皺，覺得此事不太對勁。何修更是急的臉色都白了：“太後娘娘，恐怕是因為林大人肩負重傷，這神龜聞見血腥氣，才指向林大人。”

太後又遲疑了：“這倒也說得通，神龜的嗅覺，自然是比凡人靈敏些。”

錦衣還想說什麽，小殿下忽然道：“神龜又動了！”

衆人就看見，神龜急急地調轉方向，原地轉圈起來，轉了一圈以後，直沖着錦衣的方向爬了過去。

錦衣低頭，看見神龜停在自己腳邊，神情很兇狠的模樣，臉色微變。

太後身邊的嬷嬷陰陽怪氣道：“老奴記着，太後娘娘是自錦衣姑娘進宮以後，這頭風症才發作得如此頻繁，莫不是錦衣姑娘八字有邪，沖撞了太後娘娘？”

錦衣頓時臉色僵硬：“嬷嬷可不要亂說，太後娘娘的頭風之症每次經我施針都有緩解。”

林楠績端詳着這只神龜，問道：“這神龜出水有幾時了？”

伺候神龜的太監立馬回答：“有兩個時辰了，本來是要擡進禦花園的水池的，皇上說先讓太後娘娘看看。”

林楠績道：“神龜雖然在水中和陸地都能生存，但離水太久，恐怕是想回水中了，這是禦花園水池的方向吧。”

太監立馬高聲道：“林大人說的是，正是水池的方向。”

錦衣頓時松了口氣，往旁邊讓了讓。神龜前面沒有障礙物，一路暢通無阻。

太後卻涼飕飕地看了她一眼：“林大人說的有理，可見這世間哪來什麽吉兇之說，凡是自有道理，來人，把神龜引入水中。”

神龜被太監引走，錦衣的臉色不如方才明亮，行禮賠罪：“民女見識短淺，請太後娘娘恕罪。”

何修趁機道：“幸虧林大人見多識廣，若是任由你污蔑，可就要成了沖撞太後娘娘的不詳之人了，林大人好歹為皇上擋過箭，怎可任由你空口白牙地污蔑。”

太後沉着臉點點頭：“不錯，哀家也差點輕信了你這番荒唐話。”

林楠績笑道：“不過是一樁玩笑，我現在無事，還得多謝太後娘娘明察秋毫。”

太後臉色回轉，只是頭風又有些發作起來。

錦衣趁機又說道：“太後娘娘頭風又發作了，可要民女給太後娘娘按摩。”

太後點點頭：“還是你按得哀家最舒服。”

說罷，就領着錦衣回了慈寧宮，身邊的嬷嬷也是無可奈何。

小殿下卻拉着林楠績，要他陪着玩。

林楠績牽着小殿下，看着太後和錦衣回慈寧宮的背影，問宮人：“這錦衣一直在太後娘娘身邊伺候。”

宮人回答：“是，如今也常常為小殿下把脈，還做了些藥膳飲食，很是得太後的歡心。”

小殿下卻突然來了一句：“我不喜歡和她玩。”

Lin Nanjie squatted down, his eyes level with the little prince's: "Why doesn't your prince like her?"

Li Jingyu frowned: "The smell on her body is not good."

Lin Nanjie remembered that Li Jingyu had said before that the imperial concubine smelled bad. The palace maid beside the little prince said, "Your Highness always said that Jinyi smelled strongly of medicine, but Jinyi was originally a female doctor, so it was normal for her to smell of medicine."

"Your Highness is still young, and it is common for children to have a keen sense of smell."

Lin Nanqi said to Li Jingyu: "Since the young prince doesn't like her, I won't have any contact with her."

Lin Nanjie then said to the palace maid beside Li Jingyu: "Pay attention to the diet of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on weekdays."

The palace maid understood immediately: "Thank you, Lord Lin, for your advice."

When Lin Nanjie returned to the Purple Palace, Li Chenghuan had already returned from entertaining the Indian envoys, so Lin Nanjie told him about this matter. After listening, Li Chenghuan said, "This person must be quite famous."

Lin Nanjie nodded: "To be able to please the Queen Mother, she must be an extraordinary person. Today, she wants to take advantage of the divine turtle to make trouble and point the finger at me. I have never met her before, and we have never had any grudges against each other. She is targeting me so openly, which shows that she is malicious."

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly: "That's not all."

Lin Nanjie: "Anything else?"

Li Chenghuan then mentioned that when Lin Nanjie was in a coma, the Queen Mother had asked Jinyi to deliver food and also advised him to expand his harem.

Lin Nanjie was stunned: "She wants Jinyi to enter the harem?"

Li Chenghuan also had a strange look on his face: "I cannot allow strange people to enter my harem. You are enough for me in this life, but this golden dress can be used to counter my plan."

Lin Nanqi didn't know why he thought of the emerald green turtle again, and his thoughts suddenly changed: [Today's divine turtle is green, just like the emperor's head.]

Li Chengqian took a deep breath and gritted his teeth: "Lin-Nan-Jie!"

Lin Nan shrank his neck and said, "I was wrong, I was wrong!"

Then he started to worry again: "I can't control it either!"

The more you suppress your inner voice, the more it will rebound. For example, right now, his thoughts can outline every groove on the divine turtle's shell.

[It’s really green, so lush green…]

Li Chengqian clenched his back teeth and suddenly chuckled.

Lin Nanqi became alert instantly and looked at him suspiciously.

Li Chengqian crossed his arms and looked up at him: "You can't control yourself, right?"

Lin Nanqi: [? ]

Li Chengqian: "I have wanted to try it for a long time."

Lin Nanjie: "Try what?"

With a single swing of his hand, Lin Nanjie's feet left the ground. Li Chenghuan easily held her in his arms and walked towards the dragon bed.

Lin Nan subconsciously put his arms around Li Chenghuan's neck and swallowed.

[I...] Lin Nanjie's eyes began to dart around, with this and that popping up in his mind, and finally the scenes in the script began to replay in turn.

This is the one I read recently...

Li Chenghuan's breathing suddenly became heavy, and he held the person tighter: "This position... is not bad."

Lin Nanjie: [Ahhhhhhh, stop thinking! Stop thinking!]

Just as he was about to reach the bed, Lin Nanjie closed his eyes to avoid looking at the large and soft bed and began to talk nonsense in his head.

[Prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, and harmonious... The principle of the Pythagorean theorem is that the sum of the squares of the two right-angled sides of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse... The three idiots on the sled are Samoyed, Husky, and something else... Lord Wang spoke for me, I must thank him very much! Ahhhhhhh! Stop thinking! ]

[Last time I counted, you do have eight pack abs...Ahhh help! ]

Hearing this, Li Chengqian paused, and then a low laugh came out of his chest that he couldn't help.

The moment he was put on the bed, Lin Nanjie was completely devastated. His face turned red and he felt hopeless. He had never lain so flat before.

【Forget it. 】

Li Chenghuan placed his hands on Lin Nanjie's sides and looked at him leisurely.

"I didn't expect you had that kind of stuff in your head."

Lin Nanjie had tears in his eyes and tried to resist in the last ditch: "My injury is not healed yet."

Li Chenghuan kissed his left shoulder: "I checked it yesterday, and it's basically healed completely."

Lin Nanjie glanced at him: "When did you see it?"

Li Chengqian's eyes flickered: "Last night..."

Lin Nanjie's eyes widened: "Last night? I went to bed before you came back."

Li Chenghuan coughed twice and said, "I am concerned about your injury."

Lin Nanjie's eyes were dim: [This is the first time I've seen someone describe being a hooligan in such a considerate and touching way.]

Li Chengqian lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "I remember your storybook... I haven't finished reading it yet..."

Speaking of this, Lin Nanjie became energetic again.

[I've finished reading it... No! I haven't! ]

Unfortunately, the brain has already started to replay the various scenes in the script.

Li Chengqian was amazed: "So it can be done this way."

He lowered his head, bit off the tie on Lin Nanjie's chest, put it across his lips, and said vaguely: "So my dear likes this..."

Lin Nanjie's cheeks seemed to be dyed with peach blossoms. Seeing Li Chenghuan's aggressive gaze, her light-colored thin lips biting the moon-white frenulum, she felt an inexplicable attraction that gradually made her body boil.

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up: "I like it this way too."

Lin Nanjie's face turned even redder and he simply closed his eyes, thinking that he would rather not see it.

"President Fang said that I need to take good care of myself. I...I want to sleep!"

Li Chengqian hummed, and said, "Okay, go to sleep, leave everything to me."

【！ ！ ！】

Lin Nanjie closed his eyes, but his other senses were more acute. The laces were untied by Li Chenghuan. The temperature in the Zichen Palace was neither hot nor cold, but it caused a shudder for no reason.

In the end, deep inside the bed curtains, Lin Nanjie was pinned down and bullied, and had to listen to Li Chengqian say, "Hmm... So this is better?"

"So what?"

"My dear, you are very stubborn..."

Lin Nan was so embarrassed and angry that she wanted to die, but the temperature of the bed curtains remained high. In the end, she was soaked through, covering her eyes and gasping for breath. At first, she was unwilling to be outdone, and her ten fingers left clear marks on Li Chenghuan's back. Later, she didn't even have the strength to raise her hands.

Then the hand covering the eyes was firmly pulled away by a broad palm, and then a moist kiss fell on the hot eyelids.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Lin Nanjie was speechless and too lazy to open his mouth.

【I want to drink some water.】

The next second the water was delivered to your mouth.

Lin Nan moved his toes and said, "I'm hungry."

In the time it takes for an incense stick to pass, the chicken soup wontons were served.

Lin Nanjie stretched his back lazily: [I’m so sleepy, it’s time to take a shower. ]

Li Chenghuan gently carried Lin Nanjie to wash up. Lin Nanjie was sleeping unconscious.

Lin Nan stayed in Zichen Palace for several days to recuperate. Every day, he either fed the green turtle or played with Li Jingyu, and stared at Jinyi. Until one day, when he looked in the mirror, he was surprised to find that his cheeks had become rounder. He felt that he could not waste his time any longer, so he righteously refused the request to continue living in Zichen Palace and returned to his own house with ease.

Lin Nanjie returned to the Censorate and carried out his work as usual every day.

The court seemed calm, but undercurrents were surging.

Until one night at the end of July, the day was calm and peaceful. As usual, Lin Nanjie went to bed early.

The long street in front of the house was deserted at night. At night, every household turned off the lights, and the whole long street fell into darkness. In the second half of the night, after a clear clapper sounded, it became even quieter. However, at this moment, the door of the inconspicuous Lin Mansion was knocked hard.

The knocking on the door was intermittent, but it never stopped. Li Dai was awakened in the middle of the night. He yawned, put on his clothes, opened the door, and wanted to see who was causing trouble in the middle of the night.

Who knew that as soon as he opened the door, he smelled a strong smell of blood. He stepped back subconsciously, raised the lantern and took a closer look, and saw a man with a completely unrecognizable face lying at the door of the house. The man's body was torn and tattered, and the blood scab had been there for who knows how long. The bloody and rotten smell made Li Dai almost vomit.

He was startled: "Who is it?"

The man said nothing, holding a letter tightly in his hand, and walked forward tremblingly: "Master Lin, please... make the decision for me..."

After saying this, he fainted.

Li Dai looked at the person lying on the ground, and hurriedly sent someone out to call a doctor. He then hurriedly knocked on Lin Nanjie's door and handed him the letter.

Lin Nanqi was woken up from his sleep. After understanding the whole story, he did not dare to delay and opened the letter. Both of them were stunned.

This letter was written in human blood.

Li Dai didn't know what was going on: "I have asked the servants to put the man in the chamber and have asked a doctor to come and see him."

"Sir, what does this letter say?"
